Izmir Turkey

The pictures you are about to see are all from Ephesus in Izmir Turkey. Ephesus is one of the most beautiful cities in Asia Minor. This ancient city was dedicated to the goddess Artemis. It's amazing to see the ruins. Goggle Ephesus to learn more. The ship was greeted by Turkish dancers upon arrival. The lady with the yellow umbrella was our guide. The stone with the female image is where the Nike shoe logo was obtained.

Believe it or not thousands of years ago they had toilets as you see in this picture.

Water underneath washes the waste away. Since they didn't toilet paper, they would use a sponge on a stick to wipe their bottom. The sponge was then washed out in a trough of water that ran in front of the toilet. The sponge was then passed to the next person. Check the other picture for a view of the stream.
